Directions

From Philadelphia (54 miles). I-476 North (the PA Turnpike NE Extension) to exit 44/Quakertown. Right on Rte 663 South towards Pennsburg, right on Rte 29 North to Rte 100 intersection. Continue straight (don't take 100/29) for 4 miles to Bear Creek. Enter the driveway (Birdie course is on the right) - go over speed bump to lot #4 and park. 1st hole shoots back up the driveway. The course will loop out to the road and back to the lot where you can pick up #10 over the pond. After #18 a board walk leads back towards the gravel lot.

This course has it all. Wide open throws, tight wooded corridors and deceiving water hazzards. Depending which course you throw you get a different type of game. The "birdie" course is just that; almost every single hole on this course can be birdied by a beginner. It balances short birdie holes with expected pars. It's a great course for everyone who is new to the sport. A small group can complete this course in under an hour if no discs go missing.

The "mountain" course is geared more for experienced players who are looking to elevate their game. Many of the holes on this course break the 400 ft mark, and some of those contain tiring uphills. Hole 18 is the longest at 644, hole 2 is a close second at 580(both of these are downhill). A most unique mountain top section featuring a few American Chestnuts that have not yet entirely succumbed to the blight. Oh , and hanging baskets guys, hanging baskets!
